Do you want to to find out who your partner is talking to on WhatsApp ? There are three ways to find out:
- analyze the storage in the app (free, but with limitations),
- use WhatsApp Web (risky),
- or install a monitoring application as mSpy (effective, but it costs money). We'll explain each method, what it actually shows, and its limitations.
⏩Our whatsApp⏪ monitoring software of choice.
Method 1: Analyze WhatsApp storage (free)
This tip is completely free, but it has a major limitation. Read it all the way through before jumping to a conclusion.
The idea is: you watch free what "contact" takes up the most storage space on the phone. You need a direct access to the device of the person, then follow these steps.
- Open the app WhatsApp.
- Go to the Settings.
- Press “Data Use and Storage”.
- Open “Manage storage”.
You'll then see a list of discussions sorted by space occupied. The contact at the very top is the one with whom the person exchanged the more data, including groups.
That's the real limitation: this ranking primarily measures the photos and videos. The text messages and voice messages carry very little weight, and the appeals don't count at all.
In practical terms, the “favorite” contact is the one to whom the person sends the most media, not necessarily the person she messages the most. If your partner often chats with someone without sending them photos, that contact will not appear at the top of the list. In that case, go directly to the Method 3.
Method 2: Use WhatsApp Web
Warning: This method can be detected. As soon as you log in WhatsApp Web to another device, the person receives a security notice on her phone. That way, she'll know right away that her account is linked to a new device.
In practical terms, you open WhatsApp in a browser and you read the real-time discussions. It's simple, but the There is no discretion. If you still want to try, go to whatsapp.com, then follow these steps.
- On your phone, go to Settings then press “Connected Devices”.
- Press “Connect a device” and Scan the QR code displayed on WhatsApp Web.
- Now you can see the whatsapp messages of your target in real time.
For truly discreet and continuous monitoring, the following method remains the most comprehensive.
Method 3: Monitor WhatsApp Using a Third-Party App
Some monitoring applications are installed directly on the device to track all activity WhatsApp. This is the most comprehensive method if you're looking for a real-time tracking rather than just a glimpse.
